New MLB Commissioner Manfred Attended Le Moyne

Rob Manfred, who was elected on Aug. 14 as the 10th commissioner in the history of Major League Baseball, has strong ties to Le Moyne. A native of Rome, N.Y., Manfred attended Le Moyne from 1976 to 1978 (he was a member of the varsity tennis team) before transferring to Cornell. His wife Colleen is a 1980 graduate of the College and he received an honorary degree at the 2010 commencement ceremony.

ThinkProgress.org includes Le Moyne as one of 11 institutions across the country that "...are taking concrete steps to amend their policies, expand their training programs, and let new students know they want to improve" as it relates to sexual assaults.
